If so, open Explorer and go to the c:\windows\system\iosubsys folder and move this file to another location. To do this, you can right-click and choose Cut, then right-click on another folder and choose paste, or you can use drag n drop. Once you have done this exit and restart. If you get an error message about the system not being able to find this file, then run Regedit. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD. Find smartvsd.vxd on the list and delete it. There are several failures in the bootlog that are normal.

You might take a look at this article: Troubleshooting Windows 98 Startup Problems http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=188867 If that doesn't help you fix it, you might think about installing to a new folder. See this article: How to Install Windows 98 Into a New Folder http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=193902 If you decide to try installing over the current installation as a troubleshooting step, be sure to uninstall Internet Explorer first. You want to get back to the version that shipped with your version of Windows. Do this from Control Panel, Add/remove programs. When you are back to the original version, it will no longer show up here as available to uninstall. Installing Windows over a version with an updated Internet Explorer will result in mismatched files and your Internet access will be broken until you install the version that you had upgraded to or a newer version than that.

After 5 days of troubleshooting I bought a much larger hard drive, removed the old drive and switched to XP and reinstalled the old drive and picked off the files I wanted to keep. It will now get reformated and placed in an older computer my daughter uses for word processing. Again, thanks for the help. > You might take a look at this article: > [quoted text clipped - 76 lines] > >> >> > >> >> Thanks in advance for any help. |
